AD Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 The dates are September 6 and 7, the venue is once again the Toronto Islands and the theme, apparently, is the rock. Day one will be closed out by Foo Fighters and also feature Bloc Party, Spiritualized, Wintersleep and The Constantines. Day two brings Oasis, Paul Weller, Sterophonics, The Weakerthans and The Pigeon Detectives. Many many more to be announced, obviously, but there's your big names. A lot of Englishness, a lot of veterans, a lot of dudes, a lot of guitars....Tickets for V Fest Toronto go on sale this Saturday, $159 for a two-day pass and $87 for a single.

Velvet Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Why do I whine about things I won't be attending?That's a lot of money for that lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't love any of those bands , but I like Paul Weller and The Stereophonics better than the rest. I hope they flesh-out the bill with some more interesting choices. Gimme Supergrass!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Chaos Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 well, if they're taking requests, c'mon Jesus and Mary Chain. (and, perhaps, the Raconteurs.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irie Guy Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 well, if they're taking requests, c'mon Jesus and Mary Chain.Another of my favorites, with another brilliant pair of brothers fronting it. An amazing show at the Concert Hall way back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
